about the game tonite. Still see a vanilla snoozer of Michigan getting up fast by Blitzkrieging Iowa by aggressively downfield throwing in the first quarter until Michigan is up by an insurmountable 3 score lead over Iowa’s classic 1975 B1G Ten tribute offense that hasn’t a chance in this hellish world of coming back from 21 down. We will see a ton of Mullings in the second half, and the rest of the RBs, because Jim will save Blake and Donovan for the CFP. If it’s 21-0, and Michigan’s first drive in the 3rd results in a 28-0 score, JJ, Loveland, Wilson, and every other critical starter will be pulled, and Michigan will drag out every play clock down to the last seconds before handing the ball off the rest of the game, with a couple of play action pass completions over an Iowa offense packed in close to sell out to stop the run, which will blow the game wide open to 42-0. Jim plays all 74 guys who travelled. Back up QB and monstrously sized grown a$$ man looking guy Alex Ojri (sp?) breaks away on a simple QB sweep right for a 75 yard jaunt to the endzone while pulling away from defenders looking like an Eric Dickerson highlight for a 49-0 score before the 4th quarter, and Jim is more than happy to just bleed the clock running right up he A and B gaps 3 times and then punting the rest of the game. Of course, the fourth string defensive backfield gives up a late desperation heave TD to a doubled covered Iowa WR as we can’t believe the safety or the CB didn’t intercept the ball. Iowa goes for 2 with 30 seconds in the game.
All the starters go back in for the victory formation that JJ does something with the ball toss back to Wilson that’s a wee bit disrespectful..which I love. B1G champs..yeah yeah. There won’t even be a conference championship game soon. On to the CFP…only 2 games man…they gotta stay frosty for 2 more games. The gotta hit right off the bat and yell, “we all willing to die for this shite..are you?” That’s the championship level..a total disregard for yourself to make the play that could seal the win. I feel Michigan is in total sync in that department. There is no team more motivated than the Wolverines. They don’t have to get up for the game, they have to be restrained before being let loose.
My junior year we had a team with 6 Div I players and had that unified angry caged bear attitude where we just overpowered teams after dropping our first out of our league game. We were sure we were gonna win it all, until we played our semifinal game at the old Vet in Philly. It was a bitter cold day, but the primary factor we lost was we played on grass for the last 2 years, and suddenly we are playing on basically concrete with a layer of fake patio grass covering it. I have no idea how the Eagles played football on that field, because by the 3rd Quarter my elbows were so bruised and battered I couldn’t extend my arms. We were all thrown off our game and lost 13-3, and all I could think about was getting off that field as quickly as possible. Just thinking about that game makes my elbows ache.
Fortunately Michigan won’t have to play in November of 1984 in Philadelphia.
This game is one where the score is misleading as Michigan will be just trying to shorten the game and score on accident.
Argus Prediction: The most pedestrian 49-6 blowout we ever witnessed that will have the least drama possible..like watching your dad rake leaves because there is nothing good on TV. The 10mg Valium B1G Ten Championship.
